Critical Path Method (CPM) The Critical Path Method (CPM) or Critical Path Analysis is an important technique for effectively managing the complex list of activities of a project. It uses a mathematically based algorithm to calculate a network model known as the 'critical path' to help a project manager determine the following. May 16, 2019 Critical Path Method, which is abbreviated as CPM, is one of the most popular schedule network analysis technique, as defined in the online PMP courses.Critical Path Method relies on determining the longest path in the network diagram. After schedule network of the project has been finalized during the develop schedule process of Project Time Management, you will have start.
Are there any online or free tools for drawing Critical Path using the CPM method?
I already calculated all ES, EF, LS, LF and other parameters, now I'm looking for a tool to draw it. There doesn't appear to be any results after searching for 'draw CPM' and other search keywords in Google.

There are many online and free tools for project planning:
LiquidPlanner, TomsPlanner, GanttProject (do a Google search for links) are some of the most popular.
Most of these will offer a free trial period, or limited number of projects, so you can get a feel for them.

There's a free spreadsheet here: https://www.vertex42.com/ExcelTemplates/critical-path-method.html that can do processes with up to 25 tasks with up to 6 dependencies per task. The author sells an extended version, but the free one works just fine for small projects.
I have no association with the author.
